Re: Memphis and Jerey discussing Mayo for Morrow, should we get in on it?

I'd probably be more interested in Morrow than Mayo. We could use a sharp shooter. I'd just rather see Lance play than give up anything to acquire Mayo.

Mayo can't be very good if he's getting shopped like this. We almost got him for Josh Mcroberts, a player we were losing anyway. Memphis seems hell bent on trading him for a role player, doesn't speak well to Mayo's potential.

Re: Memphis and Jerey discussing Mayo for Morrow, should we get in on it?

I still think Mayo would be a big time addition for the P's. Im not sure its doable considering Memphis cant seem to make up its mind on what they think OJ is worth…..but I think there must be something behind the scenes pushing Memphis to move him because he is doing everything you would want from a bench scoring punch….I mean I guess they have Pondexter and Selby both making less money and showing they can produce at some level….but still…I would think they would be looking more for a big to ease the loss of Randolph and Arthur as opposed to yet another wing player….We could offer Amundson and a future 2nd….no way Im giving a 1st for a guy who we may not even keep as a restricted FA next season. End of the day though…Mayo makes us a lot better I think as a scorer who can create his own shot off the dribble, off screens, get to the rim, willing passer and underrated defender. I think he would really flourish under a guy like Vogel who excels at motivating.

There was a reason Bird tried umpteen times to trade Rush, and there must be a reason Memphis is trying to trade Mayo. Problem child?

NO. MORE. MAYO.

In addition to thinking that Mayo is not the guy that I want to fill up the Guard rotation....I think that Bird can do better than Mayo....there will be Teams looking to shed salary to get under the cap where there will be opportunities to take on some assets while using the Capspace that we have..

The Pacers have a $43 mil Salary Cap in 2011 and $36 mil in 2012.

Below are the Teams that have a salarycap over $60 mil ( according to Hoopsworld ) in 2011:

Any other Team not included in the above lists have roughly $57 to $60 mil in Salary for the 2011-2012 season.

Of the Teams that are above the Luxury Tax......what realistic options could we get at the cost of a 2nd round pick in the year 3000 and a TPE that would help us get to that next level?

The following Teams are the only Teams that have any Capspace in 2011 to make absorb a contract without sending anything back ( basically the only Teams that we will be competing against to receive assets back without sending something back ):

Cavs $51 mil
Kings $50 mil
Raptors $53 mil

A few questions....what is the minimum Salary that we have to have at the end of the 2011 Season?

Knowing this...it will give us an idea about how much Salary that we can absorb in any deal.

Re: Memphis and Jerey discussing Mayo for Morrow, should we get in on it?

Yes....we can. I'd prefer that we do a combination of looking for a JCraw Level Player AND taking back some future assets since the Pacers happen to have the most Capspace to absorb a lot of Salary before the deadline.

To be clear....we are in a good position to deal with the Teams that are above the LT since the majority of those Teams do not want to take back any salary so that they get back from under the Cap.

Re: Memphis and Jerey discussing Mayo for Morrow, should we get in on it?

I just don't care about Mayo, his recruiting hype and high draft slot has people thinking he's something he's not, but wow, for Anthony Morrow? Did he eat a baby on live TV?

OJ had no future there....so if it went through...the Grizzlies would basically have had Morrow....whose a solid role player 7th to 8th rotational Player that's a solid 3pt shooter. Basically, the Grizzlies would have purchased a 1st rounder in the teens/20s for $4 mil ( the cost of Morrows contract in 2012-2013 ).

Re: Memphis and Jerey discussing Mayo for Morrow, should we get in on it?

Only in your's and my dream.....with Curry's ankle that apparently is made of fine china....Monta and Nate is pretty much the closest thing that the Warriors have to anyone that can run the show. I don't see them moving Monta. At most, I'd send DC+1st+Capspace...but I doubt that the Warriors would be interested.
